They've started an indefinite strike at the Metal Group in Abadiño and Legutiano against the ERE
The management of the company has proposed an ERE that proposes the complete closure of the Abadiño plant and numerous redundancies in Legutiano, which will affect about 139 of the 183 workers.
Metal Group workers Smeltin & Precision have started an indefinite strike this Wednesday against an ERE (ERE) that proposes the closure of the Abadiño (Bizkaia) plant and numerous redundancies in the Alavesa town of Legutiano, affecting 139 workers.
The automotive parts smelting and machining company has 183 employees in these two factories.
The Works Council rejected the Management's initial approach. At the meeting held on 18 December at the company's Alavesa plant, the majority trade union representation of ELA in the centre proposed an indefinite strike. The Assembly ratified the proposal by a simple majority, and according to the union, on this first day, has had "broadmonitoring ".
Workers' representatives say the company defends the need for an ERE as a result of negotiations with its main client. However, they believe that this measure "does not guarantee the future viability of the Legutiano plant".
They also recall that Metal Group went through a creditor competition that ended in August. The Swiss Meteorix fund bought the company for a euro.
The trade union side of the negotiating table, made up of ELA, CCOO and LAB, has ensured that the change of management of the company has taken place "only outwardly". It has denounced that the company "is still in the hands of the former management".
